The interaction between the mint, the lime and the Campari is surprising and very good.

Gin Martini

Courtesy of Chris McMillian



I enjoy my martini very classically: Beefeater gin, Noily Pratt, maybe a dash of orange bitters, with as cold as ice as I can get, stirred in a small glass with a lemon twist. I love olives, but I’m not an olive in my martini person.


I love Plymouth Gin, but for me it’s not a martini gin. In fact, the very first published recipe of the gin martini, as we know it, included Plymouth Gin in the 1890’s. They changed the formulation of the gin and it’s not the same gin today, that it was then.


Yield

1 drink


Ingredients

- 3 parts Beefeater gin

- 1 part Noilly Prat dry vermouth

- 1 dash orange bitters

- Lemon twist


Directions

1) In a mixing glass add gin, vermouth and bitters over ice.

2) Stir until well chilled.

3) Strain into a chilled cocktail glass.

4) Garnish with a lemon twist.
